Conscious Creativity: Waste Not, Want Not
A new generation of designers and makers are rethinking traditional manufacturing methods and turning to waste as a primary resource, fashioning beautiful functional pieces from unlikely materials, including paper, packaging and recycled plastic. Over two billion metric tonnes of waste are produced annually, but only 15 per cent of that is reclaimed; discover how four designers are realizing a more positive vision to bring environmentally and socially sustainable solutions to every stage of their design creativity, from production and beyond.
